What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

I've updated to Lion last week. Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience. However, my only gripes are in Finder. What happened to the multi-touch gestures? The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out? I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here. Apple please bring this function back. I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle.
Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder. Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops. I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder? These are the functions that I used all the time.

That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out. That is not be used by anything else in finder. If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed. However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes. If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page. If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together. As of now, these functionalities do not exist. I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.

What happened to the multi-touch imac

I heard from several people that apple has patented the idea of a multi-touch imac.
Is apple actually going to build it?

if I knew that I would probably be a rich man. they did file a patent that goes somewhat in that direction, that's all.
don't wait for it, it won't be coming for the next couple of years. get a magic mouse instead ^^

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

I just upgraded my Macbook (late 2007) into X Lion , but the multi touch gestures is not working. Is this not compatible with my Macbook?

A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

What happened to the multi-vlan feature?

I've read cisco documentation that discusses the multi-vlan feature on the 2900 XL series, but not for the 2950s. Is this functionality provided in a different way on the 2950s?

The short answer is yes, via trunking.
The multi-vlan feature was originally supported on the early 2900XL hardware since the asics used at the time did not support ISL or dot1q encapsulation. When the updated 2900XL and the 3500XL were released they had asics that did support ISL and dot1q encapsulation and so multi-vlan support was no longer required. A decision was made to keep the multi-vlan feature available for these platforms... I assume... so that customers with a mix of 'old' and 'new' hardware could configure them the same.
When the 2950 and 3550 were released a decision was made to no longer support the multi-vlan feature since the hardware of both already supported either ISL and dot1q (3550) or dot1q (2950).
HTH,

What i need to do to activate the multi touch gestures o my 2008 macbook?

i installed Lion and i just noticed that my track is the same that before, it only works when scrolling and more, but new gestures arent working, how can i activate them or my 2008 macbook trackpad is not compatible to do that?

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody was the first MacBook with a glass trackpad. Is that what you have?

I think it is a shame for a company this large and world wide not to have live people to TALK to on the phone to help with issue instaed you have to type in to a computer . What happen to the personal touch and caring for your consumers it is SO frustrat

I don't understand why your company would not want to be customer freindly and helpful , If i wou;d have known there wwas no way of communicating with you other than typing i would not have purchased any of the ipod items we own . I think you should be ashame for your company for not adding a personal touch not every one is conputor savy and do make mistakes when typing but nno one in your company will help unless i chat online i don't always have time to do this and it makes me upset and angery when i have to talk to a computor instead of a live person I hanve talked to pple representive 2 were very freindly i was a complete A## and very rude i don,t understand how your company grows with bad attitueds and taking so long to respond back to you .I wish i could find another brand that did what the the ipod does andd i would toss mine for it .

First, please understand that you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Everyone here, with rare and limited exceptions, is just a fellow user.
If you want help directly from Apple with a technical problem with an iPod, you can either visit an Apple Store, if there's one near you, or you can call Apple tech support. You can find a list of phone numbers for Apple support for the various countries here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you are referring to problems with the iTunes Store, then as is common with most if not all download stores, Apple only provides technical support via email. I presume that they find it not to be cost-effective to provide phone support for such small purchases.
BTW, the forum you posted in, iTunes U, is for colleges and universities who provide content through the iTunes Store. For user questions about iTunes, use one of the general iTunes forums. If you want to comment to Apple, their feedback pages:

Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

Help pls.

It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
There are 3 gestures.
Use four ot five fingers to;
• Pinch for Home screen
• Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
• Swipe left or right to go between open apps
If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

Can't get multi touch gesture on my ipad

I just downloaded the new iOS 4.3 software on my iPad and I got all the new updated features except the multi touch gesture. Is anybody else having problems and what can I do to get it?

Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad were part of the original IOS 4.3 beta 1. Apple decided to remove Multi_Touch Gestures from the last two beta's and the final built of IOS 4.3. Multi-Touch Gestures may be a part of the operating system in future releases. the only way to enable Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad is to be a developer using XCode. If you have Xcode and not a developer there is still a way to enable Multi-Touch but the iPad may suffer problems if your developer creditentals are not put in.

Can you use Mac OS X Lion multi touch gestures in Firefox?

On Wednesday, Apple release the new OS X Lion and there are now Multi Touch gestures using the trackpad. I am able to use those gestures in Safari, but I was wondering if there is a way I can use the multi-touch gestures in Firefox.

This appears to be a problem firefox are aware of and are working on, and with some possible workarounds, see also thread: ''"Back/Forward Gestures do not work in Mac OS X Lion" '' -> [/questions/853020]

Will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?, will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?

I have a macbook pro, purchased late 2006... I can scroll with 2 fingers so I'm wondering if it will support the multi touch gestures before I purchase OS X Lion?
Thanks!

Probably Not. Im sorry.
The new macs have a different kind of trackpad that is more sensitive to touch. And Apple doesn't make new stuff for old macs because most people have a new mac and because the old hardware is not fast enough to run it. Im sorry.
Hope this helps.

Multi-touch gestures for opening the tab groups

The regular shortcut for opening the tab groups is Ctrl+Shift+E. I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a multi-touch gesture to do this.
So for example, currently, browser.gesture.swipe.down is set to scroll to the bottom of the page. I love this! However, I don't use it very often and would instead like to reassign this gesture to open up the tab groups. Is this possible with Firefox 4? If not, I think it should be :)
Thanks,
Hristo

Try <b>TabView.toggle</b>

Multi-touch gestures stop working?

Apple, there is an annoying bug in Mountain Lion that needs to be fixed. Sometimes when we wake our computers from sleep, multi-touch gestures stop working. The problem is related to the Dock. Restarting the dock by typing "killall Dock" into Terminal and hitting return provides a temporary resolution, but the problem will eventually return. There are several other posts in this forum and others. Seems like there should be an easy fix to what is the only complaint I currently have with your new operating system.
Thanks.
